Hello everyone,a first timer in dart frogs and wanted to ask your opinion.I am about to buy auratus and wandering if I should get a couple or just one?I know they are more territorial than other species and I've seen them alone in zoos while teribillis and azeureus where kept as groups,what do you think?
Thanks a lot

Azeureus are the more agressive frogs. With Auratus I would suggest a pair or more depending on the size of your viv

I would say 3 would be fine in a 30 gallon viv. I like to keep at least 10 gallons per frog on frogs that do well in groups. Auratus are known to do well in groups.

I would say 4 or 5 but no more than 6. Good math is a pair for a 10 gallon and 5 to 10 gallons of space for each other frog. keep in mind the filled space of your viv. if you have a deep drainage layer and thick background you have less space frog frogs. also make sure you have plenty of cover and hiding spots regardless of # of frogs. this will decrease territoriality and stress, making your frogs feel safer and be more active.
